[J. Reuben Clark]
Called Ivor Sharp and told him he had talked with Pres. Smith and told him that it cost KSL over $500 last time for running over and (he was sure that did not cover the over-head and operating expenses) and Pres. Smith said he did not see there was anything to do except cut it off the air on the hour. Bro. Sharp said he would cut it off unless someone was speaking that he thought should be left on, such as the First Presidency Sunday afternoon.
